In conjunction with Fig. 1 to Figure 12, illustrate according to connector of the present invention.This connector has the first split type housing 10 and the second split type housing 60, and this first housing 10 and the second housing 60 are engaged with each other by carrying out fit engagement with lever 22, and this connector has water resistance.As shown in Fig. 6, Figure 10 and Figure 11, the first housing 10 has the first framework 11 of being made by synthetic resin.This first housing also has male side terminal fitting (not shown) and upper and lower two the first sub-housing (not shown) that size is different.
The first framework 11 has integral type body, and it has block terminal maintaining part 12 and the cover portion 13 of quadrangle tube shape roughly, this cover portion 13 from the periphery of the leading section of terminal maintaining part 12 forward (left side Fig. 6 and Fig. 7) outstanding.Each male side terminal fitting all has known structure, with the elongated tab extending forward from body.The body of each male side terminal fitting is all contained in the inside of the first sub-housing, and this first sub-housing is contained in terminal maintaining part 12.In terminal maintaining part 12 inside, be formed with a plurality of the first cavitys 14, and the body of each male side terminal fitting is all inserted in corresponding the first cavity 14.The tab of each male side terminal fitting is from front surface outstanding and quilt cover portion 13 encirclements forward of terminal maintaining part 12.Male side terminal fitting with respect to the axis of symmetry (not shown) point symmetry in the fit engagement direction (longitudinal direction) of two housings 10,60 be arranged in the first housing 10.
In cover portion 13, with the isolated relation of outer surface subtend of two walls up and down with cover portion 13, two restriction expansion walls 15 have been formed.Between the upper surface of cover portion 13 and the restriction of upside expansion wall 15 and between the lower surface of cover portion 13 and the restriction of downside expansion wall 15, be formed with rotation space 16, this rotation space 16 is for holding the arm 24 of lever 22 in rotating mode.In each rotation space 16, be formed with back shaft 17, and this back shaft 17 is outwards outstanding from the upper and lower surface of cover portion 13, thereby forms vertical axis.
As shown in Fig. 6, Fig. 7 and Figure 11, in cover portion 13, be furnished with movable plate 18, and movable plate 18 has the location hole 19 that allows each tab to pass.Movable plate 18 can move along the longitudinal direction, and this longitudinal direction is parallel with the fit engagement direction of the second housing 60 with the first housing 10.Surrounding wall portion is outstanding forward on the neighboring of movable plate 18.Connecting portion 20 lower wall surface this surrounding wall portion is outwards outstanding, and, in cover portion 13, be formed with notch 21, to avoid interference between cover portion 13 and connecting portion 20.
Lever 22 is made integratedly by synthetic resin, and comprises operating portion 23 and two tabular symmetric arms 24, and these two tabular symmetric arms 24 extend parallel to each other from the two ends up and down of operating portion 23.On each arm 24, be formed with dead eye 25 and arc-shaped cam groove 26.Lever 22 is arranged on the first housing 10, for be contained in rotation space 16 and back shaft 17 at arm 24, is assembled to rotation between initial position (seeing Figure 10 and Figure 11) and fit engagement position (seeing Fig. 7) under the state in dead eye 25.In rotating the process of this lever 22, operating portion 23 is along the left outer surface vertical shift of the first framework 11.
As shown in Figure 10 to Figure 12, on the right side outer surface (side not corresponding with operating portion 23) of the first framework 11, be formed with installation portion 27, so that the first framework 11 is engaged with clip 40.Installation portion 27 has formed former and later two guiding ribs 28, and these two guiding ribs 28 are outstanding vertically from the outer surface of the first framework 11.In the upper end of two guiding ribs 28, be formed with retainer 29, and bridge portion 30 extends between two guiding ribs 28.Lock arm 31 is cantilever-shaped from bridge portion 30 and extends upward, and flexibly the right lateral surface of the first framework 11 is left in deflection.On lock arm 31, be formed with overshooting shape sticking department 32, and this sticking department 32 is outstanding towards the right lateral surface of the first framework 11.
Clip 40 is made by synthetic resin.As shown in figure 12, clip 40 is arranged on the panel P that is formed with installing hole H.Clip 40 has base portion 41 and from this base portion 41 outstanding axle 42 left.Upper and lower two resilient engagement members 43 are respectively from the left distal end of axle 42 along being cantilever-shaped extension to the right with oblique downward direction obliquely.In the periphery of the base end part of axle 42, be formed with mounting groove 44.Upper and lower two elasticity pushing member 45 inclines to the left and is tiltedly cantilever-shaped extension from the two ends up and down of base portion 41.Fish plate 46 extends upward along the right lateral surface of base portion 41, and through hole 47 is along laterally running through this junction surface 46.
Rubber seal ring 48 is installed on mounting groove 44.Sealing ring 48 forms, thereby defines the sealing function portion 50 on the ring body 49 being assembled in mounting groove 44 and the periphery that is positioned at this ring body 49.Antelabium 51 is outstanding from the surface, left and right of sealing function portion 50.
By junction surface 46 being inserted in the gap between lock arm 31 and the first framework 11, clip 40 is assembled into the installation portion 27 of the first framework 11 from below.In this insertion process, the upper end at junction surface 46 and sticking department 32 are interfered, therefore, and lock arm 31 elastic deflections.When clip 40 presents normal assembled state with respect to installation portion 27, the upper end in contact retainer 29 at junction surface 46, and limited the further upward displacement of clip 40.Meanwhile, lock arm 31 flexibly recovers, thereby sticking department 32 engages with through hole 47, to limit clip 40 with respect to the downward disengaging (falling) of the first framework 11.Therefore, clip 40 locks onto the first framework 11 (installation portion 27) under the state of assembling.
The clip 40 that has been assembled into the first framework 11 is installed on panel P.More specifically, the axle 42 of clip 40 points to installing hole H and is inserted in installing hole H.During insertion process, flexibly deflection and approach this axle 42 of resilient engagement member 43.When clip 40 is rendered as normal assembled state on panel P, resilient engagement member 43 flexibly recovers and launches, panel P is clipped between the resilient engagement member 43 and elasticity pushing member 45 of this elasticity recovery along plate thickness direction.Therefore, clip 40 locks onto plate P under installment state.
The sealing function portion 50 of sealing ring 48 is clipped between base portion 41 and panel P, and flexibly shrinks and be out of shape when clip 40 is installed on panel P.The elastic restoring force of sealing ring 48 makes antelabium 51 contact hermetically with panel P and base portion 41.Therefore, sealing function portion 50 prevented may be any liquid by installing hole H be immersed in the first framework 11 (the first housing 10).
The second housing 60 comprises the female terminal fitting (not shown) of the second framework 61 of being made by synthetic resin, upper and lower two the second sub-housings 62 and different size.
When from the place ahead or when rear observes, the second framework 61 has the shape of general square shape.Upper and lower two spatial accommodations 63 are at the place, rear surface of the second framework 61 opening, and a plurality of the second cavity 64 is at the front surface place of the second framework 61 opening.Upper and lower two spatial accommodations 63 form the Long Circle shape that along continuous straight runs extends, and horizontal expansion on the whole width of the second framework 61 substantially.Antetheca 67 is formed on the front end of the second framework 61.Tab patchhole 65 forms through this antetheca 67, and is communicated with spatial accommodation 63 and the second cavity 64, thereby tab can pass these tab patchholes 65.The second framework 61 has respectively upside dual purpose wall and the downside dual purpose wall 66 of facing mutually with upside spatial accommodation and downside spatial accommodation 63.
Antetheca 67 is all front-end surface of airtight the second framework 61 substantially, and the front end periphery of the second framework 61 is continuous with antetheca 67 on whole periphery.Therefore, the leading section of the second framework 61 hardly can be vertically or horizontal direction strain or displacement.On the contrary, the rear end surface of the second framework 61 has formed for male side terminal fitting or for the insert port of the second sub-housing 62.Therefore, compare with leading section, the open rearward end of the second framework 61 is easier to vertically and horizontal direction strain or displacement.In the dual purpose wall 66 of facing mutually with laterally wider spatial accommodation 63, easily there is strain or displacement.At this, dual purpose wall 66 defines fulcrum with being connected of antetheca 67, thereby the periphery that dual purpose wall 66 utilizes antetheca 67 is out of shape or is shifted in the mode vertically tilting for fulcrum.At this, it is maximum that the deflection of dual purpose wall 66 or shift amount become at the trailing edge place of the second framework 61 (dual purpose wall 66).
Cam follower 68 is along the direction up or down of intersecting with the fit engagement direction of housing 10,60, outwards outstanding from the outer surface of each dual purpose wall 66.Position after a while of longitudinal central authorities that cam follower 68 is formed on the second framework 61 and be positioned at the lateral center position of the second framework 61.In the fit engagement process of housing 10,60, cam follower 68 engages with the connecting portion 20 of movable plate 18.
Locking projection 69 is outstanding from the outer surface of dual purpose wall 66, and is symmetrically arranged.Locking projection 69 is formed near the rear end of the second framework 61, therefore along the longitudinal direction away from cam follower 68.Similarly, copulational protuberance 70 is outstanding from the outer surface of two sidewalls in left and right of the second framework 61.Copulational protuberance 70 is formed on the rear end along the longitudinal direction of the second framework 61, and is vertically positioned at middle position.
Anti-reach rib 71 extends along circumferential direction in the periphery of the second framework 61, to can remove along the longitudinal direction this mould when utilizing mould to form the second framework 61.In the region of cam follower 68, locking projection 69 and copulational protuberance 70, do not form anti-reach rib 71.
Female terminal fitting has known shape, and has quadrangle tube at front end, has electric wire connecting portion in rear end.When housing 10,60 is connected to each other, the tab of female terminal fitting is inserted in this quadrangle tube, and contacts the elastic contact component in this quadrangle tube.Female terminal fitting is inserted in the second cavity 64, is inserted in the second sub-housing 62 simultaneously.Female terminal fitting with respect to axis of symmetry (not shown) point symmetry be arranged in the second housing 60, and along the fit engagement direction longitudinal extension of housing 10,60.
The second sub-housing 62 has flat pattern, and when from the place ahead or when rear observes, it forms Long Circle shape.Female terminal fitting is inserted into the second sub-housing 62 from rear, and the electric wire 72 being connected with female terminal fitting is rearward drawn.In the periphery of the second sub-housing 62, be formed with seal groove 73, and annular seat component 74 is arranged on seal groove 73.
The second sub-housing 62 is inserted into spatial accommodation 63 from rear, until the front end of the second sub-housing 62 contacts with the antetheca 67 of spatial accommodation 63, thereby has prevented further moving forward of the second sub-housing 62.The stop conjugation of the rib 87 by the limiting member 80 described after a while prevents removing of the second sub-housing 62.The rear end surface of the second sub-housing 62 becomes with the rear end surface of the second framework 61 coplanar.The periphery of containment member 74 closely contacts the interior perimeter surface of described spatial accommodation 63, and meanwhile, the interior perimeter surface of containment member 74 closely contacts the basal surface of described seal groove 73.Therefore, in the periphery of the second sub-housing 62 and between the interior week of spatial accommodation 63, obtained airtight sealing.
Dual purpose wall 66 forms the upside flat inner surface of upside spatial accommodation 63 and the downside flat inner surface of downside spatial accommodation 63.Upside dual purpose wall 66 directly contacts with upside flat part containment member 74, that extend transversely being contained in upside spatial accommodation 63 from top, and downside dual purpose wall 66 directly contacts with downside flat part containment member 74, that extend transversely being contained in downside spatial accommodation 63 from below.
Limiting member 80 is arranged on the second framework 61.This limiting member 80 is made by synthetic resin, and when observing along the longitudinal direction, it has the frame shape of general square shape, and has point symmetry shape with respect to the axis of symmetry (not shown) of the longitudinal fit engagement direction along housing 10,60.Limiting member 80 has upper plate 81, lower plate 82, left plate 83L and right plate 83R.Limiting member 80 is assembled into the periphery of the opening edge of the rear end of surrounding the second framework 61 from rear, and its size is set makes vertically not have play with horizontal direction between limiting member 80 and the second framework 61.
Two sticking departments 84 are cantilever-shaped and extend forward in each of the upper plate 81 of limiting member 80 and lower plate 82, and are symmetrically arranged.Sticking department 84 is (direction that the assembling direction while being assembled into the second framework 61 with limiting member 80 is intersected) elastic deflection vertically.Lock hole 85 vertically runs through each sticking department 84.Similarly, conjugate foramen 86 laterally runs through left plate 83L and right plate 83R along horizontal direction.When observing this limiting member 80 from rear, the conjugate foramen 86 in right plate 83R is in than the vertical central authorities of right plate 83R position slightly on the lower side, and conjugate foramen 86 in left plate 83L is in than the vertical central authorities of left plate 83L position slightly on the upper side.
When limiting member 80 is assembled into the second framework 61, lock hole 85 engages described locking projection 69, and meanwhile, conjugate foramen 86 engages described copulational protuberance 70, to limit this limiting member 80, from the second framework 61, departs from backward.In addition, limiting member 80 contacts described anti-reach rib 71 from rear, thereby prevents that limiting member 80 from moving forward with respect to the second framework 61.Therefore, limiting member 80 is locked in following state: wherein, limiting member 80 is restricted with respect to the vertical shift of the second framework 61.
As shown in Figure 9, on limiting member 80, be formed with upper and lower two ribs 87.Rib 87 forms the plate extending internally from the edge, rear end of limiting member 80.Fig. 9 is the front view of limiting member 80.When observing from rear, determined the horizontal direction of limiting member 80.Therefore,, in Fig. 9, left and right directions is anti-.Upside rib 87 has the first plate 88, the second plate 89 and the 3rd plate 90.The first plate 88 along upper plate 81 horizontal expansions, and has level altitude with bar shape in its whole length.The left end of the second plate 89 and the first plate 88 is continuous, arranges, and have general triangular shape along the upper end of left plate 83L.The bottom of the second plate 89 forms with the region that is formed with conjugate foramen 86 of left plate 83L continuous.The right part of the 3rd plate 90 and the first plate 88 is continuous, arranges, and roughly have the triangle vertically extending along the upper end of right plate 83R.
Downside rib 87 is similar with upside rib 87, and has the first plate 88, the second plate 89 and the 3rd plate 90.About shape and arrangement, downside rib 87 is point symmetry with upside rib 87 and arranges.More specifically, the first plate 88 along lower plate 82 horizontal expansions, and has level altitude with bar shape in its whole length.The right-hand member of the second plate 89 and the first plate 88 is continuous, arranges, and have general triangular shape along the bottom of right plate 83R.The region that is formed with conjugate foramen 86 of the upper end of the second plate 89 and right plate 83R is continuous.The left end of the 3rd plate 90 and the first plate 88 is continuous, arranges, and roughly have the triangle vertically extending along the bottom of left plate 83L.
When limiting member 80 is assembled into the second framework 61, the rib 87 contact rear end surface of the second framework 61 and the rear end surfaces of the second sub-housing 62.May be applied with attempt to make the second sub-housing 62 with respect to the second framework 61 power along backward directions displacement.Yet the rear end surface of the second sub-housing 62 contacts this rib 87, therefore limited the second sub-housing 62 with respect to the second framework 61 to backward shift (the second sub-housing 62 departs from from spatial accommodation 63).Therefore, rib 87 has also played limit that the second sub-housing 62 departs from anti-and has removed effect.
By the second housing 60 being assembled in the cover portion 13 of the first housing 10 gently in initial position at lever 22 at first, connect this housing 10,60.Therefore, cam follower 68 engages with the connecting portion 20 of movable plate 18, and meanwhile, cam follower 68 and connecting portion 20 enter in cam path 26.Then, lever 22 is rotated towards fit engagement position, thereby by the cam wheel between cam path 26, cam follower 68 and connecting portion 20 (toggle multiplication), housing 10,60 is moved to together.When lever 22 reaches fit engagement position, housing 10,60 reaches normal fit engagement state, and meanwhile, the tab of male side terminal fitting and female terminal fitting links together in the mode of conduction.
When lever 22 rotates from initial position to fit engagement position, due to the resistance to sliding between female terminal fitting and male side terminal fitting, between housing 10,60, produced fit engagement resistance.This fit engagement resistance enters cam follower 68 towards cam path 26 thrusters, and can make to be formed with on it dual purpose wall 66 displacements of cam follower 68.Therefore, in the mode launched by dual purpose wall 66 face side (be upwards the upside dual purpose wall 66 in the situation that, and be downward the in the situation that of downside dual purpose wall 66) propelling outward.As a result, there is following possibility: the close contact power between containment member 74 and the inner surface of dual purpose wall 66 may reduce, so the water resistance between containment member 74 and dual purpose wall 66 also reduces.
For fear of the problems referred to above, connector of the present invention has the limiting member 80 of frame shape, and this limiting member 80 is assemblied in the rearward end of the second framework 61.Power may make dual purpose wall 66 be out of shape vertically.Yet the limiting member 80 of this frame shape is assemblied on the second framework 61 of dual purpose wall 66, and limited the displacement producing due to expansion of dual purpose wall 66.Therefore, the water resistance (sealing property) between containment member 74 and the inner surface of dual purpose wall 66 can not reduce.
Due to the cam path 26 on arm 24 and the resistance to sliding between cam follower 68, power may make the arm 24 of lever 22 outwards be shifted.Be accompanied by the displacement of arm 24, may make the External Force Acting of cam follower 68 outside displacements on cam follower 68.The external force acting on cam follower 68 becomes the outwards power of displacement of dual purpose wall 66 that makes.Yet restriction expansion wall 15 is formed on the first housing 10, and has limited the outside displacement of arm 24.Therefore, the outside displacement of arm 24 is restricted, and the outside displacement of dual purpose wall 66 is also positively restricted.
Power may make dual purpose wall 66 outwards be shifted.If the rigidity of limiting member 80 is weaker than the such power acting on dual purpose wall 66, limiting member 80 will be out of shape, and in this case, dual purpose wall 66 will outwards be shifted.Yet rib 87 is formed on limiting member 80, thereby suppressed this displacement.Rib 87 has strengthened the intensity (rigidity) of limiting member 80, has therefore limited the outside distortion of limiting member 80.Therefore, dual purpose wall 66 will can outwards not be shifted.
When dual purpose wall 66 is outwards shifted, maximum displacement occurs in the rear open end of the second framework 61.Yet limiting member 80 arranges along the opening edge of the second framework 61, thereby prevented the displacement of dual purpose wall 66.
The invention is not restricted to describe above and illustrated embodiment.For example, the following examples are also contained in the technical scope of the present invention being defined by the claims.
In the above-described embodiments, the first housing is positive shell body, and the second housing is cloudy shell body.Yet the first housing can be also cloudy shell body, the second housing can be positive shell body.
In the above-described embodiments, lever is formed with two arms that extend from the end of operating portion.Yet this lever can be a plate.
In the above-described embodiments, for limiting the restriction expansion wall of the outside displacement of lever, be formed on the first housing.Yet such restriction expansion wall also can not be formed on the first housing.
In the above-described embodiments, rib is inwardly outstanding on limiting member.Yet such reinforcement can not be formed on limiting member yet.
Although limiting member is arranged on the opening edge of framework in the above-described embodiments, this limiting member also can be arranged in than the position of the more close cam follower in opening edge (in its front side) of framework.
In the above-described embodiments, by anti-on limiting member, remove the disengaging that portion's (rib) prevents sub-housing.Yet, can carry out with different coupling devices the disengaging of siding stopping housing.
In the above-described embodiments, rib is also as the anti-portion that removes.Yet, also can form the anti-portion that removes of special use except this rib.
Although in the above-described embodiments, male side terminal fitting with respect to the axis of symmetry point symmetry in the fit engagement direction of two housings arrange, these male side terminal fittings also can be arranged in asymmetrical mode.
Although in the above-described embodiments, female terminal fitting with respect to the axis of symmetry point symmetry in the fit engagement direction of two housings arrange, these female terminal fittings also can be arranged in asymmetrical mode.
Although in illustrated embodiment, limiting member is point-symmetric with respect to the axis of symmetry in fit engagement direction, this limiting member can be also asymmetrical.
Although in the above-described embodiments, rib is outstanding towards the inner circumferential side of limiting member, and this rib also can be side-prominent towards periphery.
